Ed's Notes: Just as with Superman, she goes from this relatively weak form to a Silver Age Version of Str: 45 (!) back to just a slightly improved version of this entry in the Modern Age. Still... THE INVISIBLE JET... eh... AIRPLANE! With... um... No guns. Or Weaponry. At all. And of course the most sexist Superhero weaknesses in Comic Book History. And... Not sure how to actually USE the character, but for reference's sake: Here you go!

Welcome!

Welcome to the Mayfair Games DC Heroes RPG online Character Database!

This is a older game, long out of print, but I was a huge fan of it (obviously) and would love to get a group back together at some point. In the meantime, I hope you find this resource to be both useful and enjoyable.

The information contained herein comes primarily from the second and third editions of the game, although if a character exists only in the (pre-Crisis) 1st edition, and I feel that their stats can be reasonably used and be a good fit with the later (post-Crisis) editions, I may include them as well, for completeness sake. Eventually all entries will include links to previously published versions of the character, and ALL character information on any given page will be cited back to the published source material. Links between the characters, their Connections, Teams, Bases of Operation, etc... will be included as often as possible - which should make this more interesting.

I may also include some notes with some of the entries, explaining how I might change the character in my campaigns - Handling connections differently (because I interpret the JLA and JLI my own way, and don't even recognize the JLE, for example), adding skills (how does Bat-Girl have a Batarang, but not the Weaponry skill?!) And in some cases just some general thoughts. (Likes/dislikes, head-scratchers, etc...)

I also think there should be a discussion, if people are interested in having one. So please leave comments, but also bear in mind that this is meant to be a FUN place for people with a shared interest and hobby. So, PLEASE, stay on topic and DON'T BE A DICK! ;)

By this time they have a scripter very fond of bondage, so he is responsible for such sexist drawback, but then on those comics Wonder Woman got tied up too many times (the man was enjoying), he got first a note of attention on behalf the company, then he just left for good, and this particular drawbackwas soon removed.

STR/BODY may be a bit low. Even in her first year she was able to wrestle elephants and win handily. Also, IIRC, the Telepathy power was equipment based, not innate. Missing skills: Animal Handling & Weaponry.
